Department of State
- [Public Notice: 13009]
AGENCY:
Department of State.
ACTION:
Rescindment of a system of records notice.
SUMMARY:
The Law of the Sea Records, State-19, which is being rescinded, contained information used for the efficient handling of matters concerning the Law of the Sea Advisory Committee such as correspondence to and from members of Congress relating to the Law of the Sea and their participation in the Executive Branch's Law of the Sea program, information pertaining to security clearances for members of the Advisory Committee on the Law of the Sea, and articles written by members of the Advisory Committee.
DATES:
Since the original publication of State-19 in the Federal Register (42 FR 49708) on September 27, 1977, system contents have been retired as permanent records to the Office of Enterprise Records Management within the Privacy, Policy and Knowledge Management Directorate (A/SKS/PPKM/ERM). A subsection of these records was subsequently transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration in 2004 in accordance with the Department's records retention policy for the records of senior officials. The subsection of these records which remains under the control of the Department is no longer maintained as a System of Records, as defined in 5 U.S.C. 552a because the records under the control of the Department are not in a system separated from other Department records. Thus, State-19 must be rescinded.
